Indeed. You speak the truth, brother.
I will say that there's one aspect--the guys and gals who do the rescuing don't get a lot of credit, really, in their day-to-day lives, so knowing that the public is watching them do their thing probably explains why they allowed those idiots in the thing in the first place--but they don't need to be there all godd*amned day.

Before you get to worried about the gas situation in Texas, it was announced that we have 230 Million barrels and most of the refineries are still online.
Contrary to what I heard today, not all of Texas was hit by Harvey. Other areas of Texas are still recovering from thunderstorms back in June.
